Sandy,

The north end of the Farragut North (A02) platform is under the
intersection of Connecticut Avenue and L Street. Assuming WMATA
uses M Street for the easement for this new line and put a
station on M Street near Connecticut Avenue. This would put the
M Street line station mezzanine roughly 700' north of the
Farragut North north entrance mezzanine. I know your going say
build a 700' long connecting passageway between the north
mezzanine at Farragut North and the M Street line station
mezzanine at Connecticut Avenue. 

Now for the bug in the ointment, beyond the Farragut North north
entrance mezzanine is a second level at the same elevation as
the Farragut North north entrance mezzanine that is the full
width of the tunnel easement and about 300' long. This area is
occupied from south to north by a traction power substation and
the air conditioning chiller plant for Farragut North and Dupont
Circle stations. I am not saying couldn't be done, I am saying
such a passageway would not likely be a strait shot unobstructed
passageway without relocating the substation and chiller plant.
